Building my own 4in system...What bends do I need?

I am building my own 4 or 4.5 in system soon, because mufflex does not offer their setup how I want it. Anyway, I was wondering what bends I need to buy to go over the axle and such. Any help would be great.
Thanks

To go from the cat-back you will need 4 90º bends

1-90 cut in half to make 2-45º(not exact 45-45) bends
2-90's to pass over axle
1-90 to go to the muffler

be careful, a 4-inch exhaust may sound good, but you could lose alot of low end torque, and you could even lose a lot of power.

Sweet setup. And no I did not read the signature, there are so many of them and i probably read most of them so I got tired of reading the same thing over an over again.

that 4 inch exhaust must sound sweet.

My friend's dad has a 69 chevelle, 396 and a 4 inch exhaust, with side pipes. anyway he doesnt have a muffler on it, and he only got pulled over once, but he never got a ticket. oh yeah he has a "race prepped" engine in it. some circle track engine i think.
